As I said in another comment, most of the best engineers I ever hired had bad grades or no grades at all - they didn't care about that and spent their time building real things instead. And on the other hand, some of the worst people I ever hired had perfect grades. Of course, this is not universal, and there is a large space in between - but I just can't agree with any usefulness of such tests. Real world engineering is totally different from any standardized tests.. How will a result from a standardized test tell me that their approach to engineering matches ours, and that they will fit in with their future team and company?
